Lindsay Graham to Israel: Do what you need to do against Houthis and Iran

Republican Senator Lindsay Graham posted a statement on X today (Tuesday) telling Israel to do what it needs to do to defend itself now that the United States and Iran-backed Houthi terrorists have reached a ceasefire agreement.

In his post, Graham said that:

"I am very pleased to hear that the Houthis have agreed to stop attacking American vessels. This has come about because of the decisive action the President has taken against the Houthis – a terrorist group in Yemen. Peace through strength does work.

"As to the Houthis continuing to attack Israel - they do so at Iran’s own peril. Without Iran, the Houthis do not possess the capability to attack America, international shipping or Israel. To my friends in Israel, do what you have to do to protect your airspace and your people. It is long past time to consider hitting Iran hard. It wouldn’t take much to put Iran out of the oil business."
